Hello everyone, I'm new to this sport and need help. I have access to a gym 3 days a week for an hour and a half each time. Its a good gym; has lots of machines and free weights. I'd like to work on my whole body. COuld someone help me workout a routine? I'm new so please be very descriptive. Thanks

I would recommend that you do full body work-out 3 days per week, 2-3 sets per exercise (max), focus on compound movements, stay in the 10-12 rep range, 1 exercise for small muscle groups like biceps & triceps, and 2 exercises for larger muscle groups like legs. Do this for a couple of months until you build some strength, coordination, flexability, etc.

PRINCE GAVE U (MINDLESS) AN EXCELLENT ADVICE
u can follow this type of routine
Posted by: Mindless
Thank you. Which exercises would be good for starting. I pretty much have everything at my disposal, but do not know which exercises are good.
Thanks

some good full body exercises would be:
Swiss ball squats (if you havent done squats before i suggest starting with them)
Pushups
Wide Grip Chins
Dips
Military Press
Then to get more Specific if you have time:
DB Laterals= mid delts
Uright Rows= traps and mid/front delts
DB Bicep Curls= biceps
DB Kickbacks= triceps
Lat Pulldowns= lats/back
Calf Raises= calves
Leg Extensions= Quads
Leg Curls= Hams
Military Press= shoulders
Reverse Pec Dec= rear delts/shoulders
BB Bench Press= chest
Cable Crossovers= chest
Bent Over One Arm DB Rows= mid back

Just so you don't get confused my advice was to use compound exercises.

yes these people r right do compund and basic exercises but i think it will be difficult for u to do even single rep of dips and chinups
Posted by: Mindless
Haha ahsan. A rep of chinups? I've used a chin up bar obsessively since I was 8.

Posted by: Mindless
I weight 100 pounds, can do around 23 pullups at a time, and almost 20 dips. Tricep dips i can only do 14.
